Pricked russet potatoes have exploded both in my microwave and my full-size oven. It the latter instance, I had added the potatoes to a hot oven already occupied by a roasting chicken. So I rolled them directly onto the oven rack. The one that exploded was apparently touching the oven wall.
It has been established that people can tell the difference between very hot and very cold water being poured into a vessel from the sound alone.
A punctured potato exploded in my niece’s microwave. I don’t know the details, but somehow it ruined the microwave. Luckily, I hadn’t sent her a wedding gift yet, so I had one shipped to her the next day.

It means you finally killed the weavels and the item is safe to eat.
My fresh out of the oven roasted root vegetables were singing to me last night. It was an interesting tune. Wish I could have recorded it so I could transcribe to a piano ditty.

Does a piece of food silently saying, “Eat me! Eat me!” count in this discussion? 
Sirens’ Song!!
Sunshine claims my chocolate peanut butter candy rolls call to her – saying exactly that “Eat me – Eat me”!!

In addition to the odd whistling spud, lots of foods make distinct noises as they cook. When I am cooking a steak, for example, the sound of the sizzle is the most reliable way to gauge the correctness of the heat and make adjustments. Also, the sound of pouring, especially into a glass, is a very reliable way to hit a level you can replicate. Try it next time you make a couple of mixed drinks.
